The major officer was originally confident, but the "three minutes and twenty seconds" given by Xia Chujian really scared the major officer.
He immediately forwarded Xia Chujian's reply to the small group of the five chiefs of staff.
The five chiefs of staff are currently meeting in the same conference room to discuss the subsequent battle strategy with the Zerg.
After seeing this repost, the five of them looked at each other in confusion.
In fact, except for the one who allowed the enemy to retreat, the other four chiefs of staff did not agree with the approach of allowing the enemy to retreat.
This is a war!
You're blocking the supply lines for the soldiers on the front lines. Do you really want to die?!
It’s just that Rong Tui Di has the highest status in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has the best family background, and has the most supporters, so others don’t dare to refute him.
But now seeing that the situation was so urgent, the other three looked at each other and decided to take a stand of advancing and retreating together.
Shao Jiajia, the Chief of Staff of the General Armament Department, immediately said, "We can't put it off any longer. If the defense line over there is breached, we on Beichen Star will have to face the Zerg army head-on!"
Beichen Star is the closest habitable planet to the north of Shaofu Star.
Zhan Xixin, Chief of Staff of the General Information Department, agreed, saying, "We must immediately deploy supplies and personnel to the Fifth Interstellar Fleet on Shaofu Star. Now is not the time to hesitate."
Xuan Fangwu, Chief of Staff of the General Logistics Department, nodded and said, "I can immediately inventory the weapons and equipment."
The new Chief of Staff of the General Operations Department was newly promoted and is a trusted confidant who can help repel the enemy.
Although he also disagreed with Rong Tui Di's approach, at this moment, the other three were against it. If he also opposed it, then Rong Tui Di's hatred would be concentrated on him...
So the man had no choice but to remain silent.
At this time, if you don't say anything, you are actually opposing the enemy's retreat.
Rong Tui Di frowned and sneered, "You praise Xia Chujian so highly, but she is nothing more than this!"
"If we fight a war, we'll go to heaven!"
"Asking for people and equipment, what does it look like?!"
"If we don't provide equipment and manpower, can we not fight the war?!"
The other three people took a deep breath and thought that if Rong Tuidi said another word of such nonsense, they would take action!
The newly promoted Chief of Staff of the General Operations Department lowered his head deeply, feeling a little embarrassed.
This clearly shows that he dislikes Xia Chujian...
But what time is it now?
Even if you don't like her, you can't make things difficult for her at this critical moment!
Now Xia Chujian is just trying to make things difficult for himself!
How can you be so stupid?
Although this man was promoted by Rong Tui Di and was a relative of the Rong family, his own family was also an earl and aristocratic family, so he was not particularly afraid of Rong Tui Di.
It was just to save face for the enemy that he did not openly stand in opposition.
Now, because of this incident, we have decided to distance ourselves from the enemy.
Even if he couldn't join forces with the other three, he absolutely couldn't stand on the side of Rong Tui Di anymore.
Rong Tui Di could not control his anger when he saw these people opposing him, and he scolded Xia Chujian.
After venting, I feel a little better.
He also knew that now was not the time to make trouble for Xia Chujian, but if he didn't make things difficult for her, how could he show the power of a high-ranking official?
It would be unreasonable for him not to let her experience some setbacks.
In addition, subconsciously, he didn't want Xia Chujian to have too many military achievements, so as long as the situation allowed, it became his routine to trip her up as much as possible.
But in the end, I still know not to go too far.
So in the end, he finally relented and said calmly, "Send a message to Lieutenant Colonel Xia, allowing her to resupply herself."
"Give her wartime supply privileges, allowing her to freely recruit troops and weapons and equipment from Shaofu Star."
Several people in the conference room looked at each other and suddenly understood.
This is another pitfall.
Compared to deliberately not providing Xia Chujian with troops and equipment, I wonder if this pit is even worse...
Because Shaofu Star is the base camp of the Zong family, one of the four great noble families.
The Zong family's fiefdom is on Shaofu Star.
Similarly, the headquarters and arsenal of the famous Zong Military Industry are also on Shaofu Star!
Now Xia Chujian has the power to recruit soldiers and acquire weapons and equipment at will on Shaofu Star. Given Xia Chujian's personality, what will she do?!
This time, either the Zong family will be in trouble!
Or, it's Xia Chujian who is about to lose a layer of skin!
No matter which one it is, I'm afraid Rong family will like it.
At this point, it is no longer just a matter of making things difficult for Xia Chujian, but also a hidden intention of taking the opportunity to trip up the Zong family, one of the four great noble families.
This is a conspiracy that kills two birds with one stone.
…
Xia Chujian soon received another reply from the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military.
This time, she was given the right to conscript during wartime.
With this authorization, she can adapt to local conditions and recruit resources from Shaofu Star, including human and material resources.
For example, she could temporarily recruit soldiers on Shaofu Star, or confiscate the private property of ordinary people on Shaofu Star...
This power is boundless.
For many people, it is a road of no return.
Because the power is too great, only God knows what people who don't know how to use it will do when faced with such temptation.
When Xia Chujian saw this reply, he didn't think too much about it.
She just thought of Zong's military industry for a moment.
Zong's Military Industry is the largest private military factory in the Beichen Empire.
Compared with the Royal Heavy Industry, Zong’s Military Industry is only one level lower in some top-secret technologies.
